For various reasons, we are just now sending out season's greetings. In case, despite having several lists, we have missed anyone, I am sending this 2021 Christmas letter in this blog as well as some mailings today. We hope you remember who we are.
We always have extended debates about how personal it is to send holiday greetings and news by email. We haven't solved the question but we care about each person and their lives and their loved ones that we are sending this to. Have a fine 2022 and take notes and pictures and not just of the good stuff.

THE YEAR OF JABS AND MASKS
(and lots of political stress and increasing climate change)
And after that, what is there to say? Well, some good things, too.
During the holidays some of our family members had mild cases of COVID, but they're well again, and we are all in good health again.
Our great-grandchildren are doing well in school and having lots of new experiences collectively, such as art classes, school choir, computer club, writing movies, managing the school store, and band (percussion). One is spending most of her time developing excellent art ability. Two of them play soccer as often as weather permits and are outstanding players.
Our travels were all in Wisconsin, including a fun family trip to Door County to celebrate landmark anniversaries we had in 2020. (60 for us and 40 for Beth & Dave).
Continuing hobbies: Bill's daily blog (https://fearfunandfiloz.blogspot.com/). Lynn's pottery and the artists' cooperative (https://qartistscooperative.com/). We both keep up with exercise, although less vigorously than in our youth.
We hope you had a happy and healthy holiday season, and we join everyone in hoping for 2022 to be a better year.
